About I.R.B Law LLP
Founded in 2012, I.R.B Law LLP has grown from a founding team of three into a firm of over 70 professionals, including 30 or more lawyers. We are a full-service Singapore law firm offering legal services across family law, corporate law, criminal defence, estate planning, Syariah and Muslim family law, and civil and commercial litigation. Our firm has represented clients at all levels of the Singapore Courts, including the Court of Appeal.
We are particularly recognised for our specialist work in Muslim family law - including inheritance (faraid), divorce, wills (wasiat), and Syariah-compliant estate planning - as well as cross-border inheritance matters involving assets in Malaysia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
We maintain a 4.89-star rating from more than 1000 client reviews, and our reputation is built on accessible, transparent, and client-focused legal service. Our team is multilingual, with lawyers fluent in English, Chinese, Tamil, and Malay. Each client is supported by a dedicated team of two lawyers and support personnel through a direct communication channel, because we believe good legal work starts with good relationships.
